The Lehman Trilogy
Gillian Lynne Theatre, London
About the Show
THE TONY AWARD®-WINNING BEST PLAY RETURNS TO LONDON
On a cold September morning in 1844, a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is joined by his two brothers, and an American epic begins. 163 years later, the firm they establish – Lehman Brothers – spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, triggering the largest financial crisis in history.
The landmark National Theatre and Neal Street production of The Lehman Trilogy, directed by Academy Award®, Tony Award®, and Golden Globe winner Sam Mendes, returns to the Gillian Lynne Theatre for a strictly limited encore season this autumn. Hailed by The New York Times as ‘a genuinely epic production’, The Lehman Trilogy is a sweeping story of a family spanning generations and a company that changed the world.
